Description This picture was taken at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California. The Getty Center was designed by noted architect Richard Meier. The image was processed to emphasize the geometry and the color of the building. The blue sky was deliberately toned down and darkened to provide additional contrast to the shape and color of the building.Copyright 2016 James W. Howe - All rights reserved

James Howe, Ann ArborMember Since April 2007Artist Statement I'm a photographer based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. My main photographic interests are architecture, architectural abstracts, industrial and things with graphical details and classic automobiles. My images typically try to capture something unique about the subject. For buildings and architecture it might be some part of the building that people might typically ignore. For cars it might be a detail that gets overlooked. Sometimes it's just a unique perspective on something that people see on a daily basis.

All of my images were shot using a DSLR and typically receive at least minimal processing in Lightroom and/or Photoshop. Additional work is sometimes done to refine the image, similar to work done in a traditional wet darkroom. It is my belief that photographic art encompasses everything from composing and taking the shot through final processing. Getting it 'right' in the camera generally means planning ahead for digital darkroom processing. My Image Notebook blog describes processing details for many of my images.
